Siblings Reunion

This place was better than I expected. Three birds is the best place to stay if you want to get away this relaxing quiet and a five minute walk to the beach. It was everything that was advertised. We had no problems while we were there. We really loved the place and we wouldn’t look forward to going back. I would recommend three birds to anyone. Communications with the owner was awesome. They get right back to you. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again Chip and mary for letting us use your lovely home.

About the host

Hosted by Chip Hopkins

We lived in the DC area for 24 years and raised 2 children there. We are now based in Richmond, VA, but we love coming to Sandbridge for rest and relaxation, especially when our children or our extended family or friends can join us.
We bought the property in 2019. As soon as we walked in during an open house, it felt just right and we fell in love with the house. We could instantly picture ourselves spending time there with family and friends. We loved the cozy feeling of this classic Sandbridge beach cottage, but it had also been updated and expanded and was large enough to accommodate groups of up to 10 people.
Mary & Chip Hopkins

Why they chose this property

The house is located on a dead-end street in the quiet north end of Sandbridge Beach within a 5 minute walk to the beach. This is exactly what we were looking for location-wise: close to the beach, but also a quiet family-oriented setting. The north end is a perfect neighborhood for walking, jogging and bike riding. Traffic is limited to those who live or are staying in the area. The speed limit is 25 mph, so the streets are generally quiet throughout the north end (although they do get busier in the summer time).

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of the property is the outdoor living space. When we purchased the house, there was a unique covered porch with a built in seating area and hot tub. We added a pool, poolside cabana bar and landscaping, so it is now a larger and even more appealing and inviting backyard space for the whole family. The second outdoor area that we love is the second level screened porch and deck. There was already a large deck when we purchased the house, but we replaced the (aging) deck and added a screened porch. This provides another appealing area to gather, have a drink, or prepare a meal using the gas grill, and enjoy time together.
